Ghenrik

I met a famous Russian sculptor once. Ernst Neizvestny, back in 70s. He did the official sculpture for Khrushchev, or one of those honchos, I believe, & then he got in trouble with the Party & had to leave Russia. He was living down near the WTC in New York, & a carpenter friend of mine was working with him. I remember drinking vodka while sitting on his most recent project, which was some kind of giant wooden crucifix on the floor of his loft.
